The Elements of Harmony have grown up. Most of them have settled down, had children, and pretty much retired from their duties as Elements. Celestia and Luna have both given birth to sons, princes who will eventually rule over the dusk and dawn. In Equestria, all is quiet and happy.

When Celestia comes to Ponyville with her family, something terrible happens. A great evil has awoken, and only the Elements of Harmony can stop it. But the Elements still reside in the Everfree Forest, and it's up to the new generation to bring that power back and end the darkness once and for all.

** This story was written when I was 16, and the quality and content reflect that. Please be aware that my position on topics contained within may have changed in the time between publishing and now, and I apologize for any offensive material that I may have condoned in my younger years. **

EDIT: Kudos to everyone who's faved this. I'm sorry it's taking so long for the first chapter to come out, but I had writer's block for the longest time. After a trip to L.A., a thunderstorm, an infestation and an awesome party I can finally write again :) Have fun!

Ebony Dusk was cursed from the beginning. 2,000 years ago, Celestia supposedly destroyed her and cast her to stone. She was forced to watch her loved ones disappear and see new rulers take her place.
What Celestia didn't know is that the Curse of Stone can be broken. Once she was freed, she started a war that will never end. And it's all because of one pony...

There are many realities but only one is supposed to be hallowed, the rest hollow. How is it then that one other world exists not only of matter and thought but of souls as well.

When a typical morning is interrupted by an unknown threat, the ponies we know and love discover they are involved in a game of cosmic importance. What can the holders of harmony do to stop something even greater then the demigods of Equestria? How did Equestria come to be such a unique place, and what is the true nature of the founders of this world?

Follow the Mane 6, a further altered Luna, and even Discord as the mystery deepens and questions of Faith, Trust, Love and Meaning are explored.

Calvin Stubbs was your average everyday tax paying black guy just trying to live life, But when taking a nap on the couch some how drops you into an whole new world filled with weird not so mythical colorful creatures that's were trying to have a normal life gets difficult. Join Calvin as he tells his story from the friends he makes to the enemies that lift their muzzles to the air at his presence. This is the only the beginning.

So this is MY first ever in recorded history FIMFiction posted on this site please take it easy on me I'm new to this whole brony thing I don't even have a favorite pony ( To be honest I like them all ) by the by sorry for the slightly corny title I couldn't think of much else. Go ahead and tell me what you guys think of the story anything that needs fixing something that doesn't make sense all that good stuff. let's hope I don't mess up this story. I'll add the other characters that will be seen in this story.

Lyra, Bon Bon, Coco Pommel, Thunderlane, Derpy, Doc Whooves (gonna have to study hard for that one), Cloudchaser, and Flitter. there of course will be more but these are the more prominent character's.

Note: The Random tag is used for moments with Discord and Pinkie and description pictures are from the talented earthsong9405 http://earthsong9405.deviantart.com/gallery/

There is a rift on the large crystal sphere that surrounds the known universe.

Things don't make sense anymore.

After the events of Season 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the six good friends gladly accept a calm state of peace and harmony that has seemed to settle across the land of Equestria. A new colt arrives from Canterlot University on a study-abroad program similar to that of Twilight Sparkle, and has no problems integrating himself into the tight circle of friends due to his near-perfect mannerisms, dedication to hard work, and surprisingly intellectual studies. The lovely status quo of Ponyville, however, starts to teeter out of balance because of everypony's possessive obsession with this new pony, and because a much darker enemy than anypony could have ever imagined begins to creep up over the veil of victory.

What if Discord had won the battle against Celestia and Luna? What if Luna, being an angst filled soul, had joined forces with the demigod? In this alternate reality, would life still flourish in our beautiful, glorious world of Equestria? We explore that here, and though friends don't come in sixes and life lessons are learned at the end of every day, you can still have something beautiful in a place where what you thought was wrong is right.

I don't generally ship the characters who I decided to ship in this piece, but it happened. Sorry.

The Gala is in a few days, but what happens when Chrysalis wants Fluttershy for a plan of hers. But Fluttershy thinks she wants her for more than what she says. Something involving her parents death. Will she be able to defeat Chrysalis? Will a romance spark between her and her new friend Discord? See what happens.

Join Zach, as he is sent to Equestria when he is randomly pulled through a portal. What will happen you may ask? Lots could happen, but it doesn't.

Note: Yes it is self-insert, sorry for that, but not sorry

Fluttershy afraid Discord will return, or at least, that he's left some of his curruption behind, refuses to leave the saftey of her cottage until she decides to take matters Into her own hooves. She soon learns that she had every reason to worry.

(I'm not sure where I'm going with this story yet, so I'll be adding tags as needed, but so far I don't see that happening.) The teen is just in case and will probably be removed.
